Father, we want to say thank you. There are things men can do. But there are certain things only God can do. This is one of such things in manifestation of your messiah and your grace. And we have come to say thank you. We will never be too familiar with your presence, your power, your glory, your wisdom, your mess. Lord, I pray that this afternoon you will speak to our hearts yet again.

Give us understanding. Let someone return back with the testimony for in Jesus mighty name we pray. God bless you. Please give Jesus a big hand clap. Then you may be seated. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. I want to start this afternoon by truly, truly congratulating the chapel of messy. In fact, the body of believers within the NIS, I think it's really remarkable. I had the opportunity to know when this was a dream. Without even, I'm not sure that the first block was already laid. And to see what God has done today, it is truly a mother. It goes to tell you that when God speaks His worth believing. Hallelujah. God will always do what he has said.

Genesis 21, verse 1. And the Lord visited Sarah as he has said. And the Lord did unto Sarah as he has spoken. If God speaks, it is worth believing. It may not make sense, but it pays not just to sub Jesus, it pays to believe Him. Genesis 21, 1, not 31, 1, 21, plus 1. The Lord visited Sarah as he has said. He did unto Sarah as he has spoken. Hallelujah. And truly, like, what's the Paul moment was saying, I think it's a very rare privilege for the service to have. Maybe not for me, but for the fathers of faith. These are people who God has truly graced on. In all fairness to them and in honor to the grace upon their lives, it would take a lot to have them pass through this place.

And so it is truly the mercy of God. It is truly a mercy of God. Hallelujah. Amen. And I just want to charge our hearts in this final session. The beautiful walk that was done here. I remember the last time I was here, we also used this place. But it was still ongoing, walk was still ongoing. But I mean, a very beautiful structure that has been put together. And let me lend my voice with the leaders of the Chapel of Messi to truly appreciate everyone who's one era, who's sweat, whose sacrifice went into this walk. Lord Himself, who you have served, will honor you. In Jesus' name we pray. Psalm 122 was one. I just, the Lord stand it in my heart to give a charge. Many times we rejoice over the manifestations of the things

that the Lord makes happen in our lives. Could be a structure like this, could be a home, a new family, could be children. It doesn't matter in what expression it comes. Every time you read from Scripture, when God delivers His promise unto people, He will always live a word of caution. Because there is something about the human nature in the presence of promises made manifest. Hallelujah. For instance, in Deuteronomy 8, when you read, He began to tell them, let it not be that when you have given houses. When you have everything, you listed all the wonderful things they could have. You said, let it not be that your heart will be lifted up and you will say to yourself, that the power and the might of my hand have given me this. 18 says, but thou shalt remember the Lord, thy God. Because there is something that happens to men when their problems are solved.

There is something that happens to men when their testimonies arrive. Are we together? There is something that happens to men in the presence of results in the presence of abundance. There is something that happens to men when all their issues are solved. You see that pattern all through in the life of the nation of Israel. So here's how it usually starts. God will bring them abundant blessings. His promises made manifest. And then the presence of abundance and promises made manifest will usually lead them to a state of complacency and slumber. And usually in the presence of abundance they forget about the God who brought all those things. And you notice the progression. Eventually they will be given to the hands of their enemies. Hallelujah. And when they are given to the hands of their enemies, they become slaves, they become,

you know, subjects to those nations and in the midst of pain, usually they will remember or sometimes God can show them mercy by sending a prophet to warn them and say you have deviated from the ways of the Lord. Then they will repent with fastings, you know, sarcloth and ashes, like it happened to Nineveh. And usually the moment they repent according to God's mercy, he will send them deliverance. Then they get back to abundance again. Then it moves to complacency. You see the cycle? So he starts with abundance, promises made manifest. Then the temptation is to forget God and they feel they do not need God again. Then in that stage they get back into their hands of their enemies in the midst of pain and luck. They remember God. Then they cry for mercy. Then God shows up. Then they return back again. Then the cycle continues. So it is a weakness in all men that in the presence of nothing,

we easily remember God. In the presence of pain, shame, disappointment, we easily remember God. And we remember sometimes we make all kinds of vows. Lord, if you do this, I will use it for this. Or if you do this, I will do that in return. Hallelujah. So the Lord put a very simple charge in my heart, in addition to all that we have heard in the course of the week, it is important for us to know the purpose of every blessing that God brings in our lives. I think it was Dr. Miles Munro of Blessed Memory now who said, when the purpose of a thing is not known, he says abuse is inevitable. The word abuse comes from two words, abnormal use. Every time the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse becomes inevitable. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. There are certain drugs

for instance, and I'm happy I'm speaking to very intelligent people. There are certain kinds of drugs that were initially designed to solve certain health issues. Am I right on that? But a few people found out that there is a way they could manipulate those drugs to give some kind of psychological sugar that was not in the original plant. So you can see someone holding a drug, perhaps, a drug that was originally made to treat certain things like drugs for cough, drugs for whatever, and today there are people who consume it beyond the dosage is called abuse. You see that now, they have stretched beyond the purpose of it. And anything God gives men can be abused, anything, including salvation, anything, including a good family, anything, including prosperity, anything, including health. My assignment by the Spirit of the Lord

is to help us to understand by the Spirit the purpose for this unsurpassed prayer. Why did God allow this kind of miracle to happen? Popus is what gives definition to everything we have. No matter what you have in your life if it is not connected to Popus, it cannot bless you, and it cannot bless God. Bless the name of the Lord. Anything at all, on its own, cannot really bless you, and it cannot bring blessings to the name of the Lord. It is when the purpose of that thing is known. So let's go back to our text, some 122 and verse 1. If we have it projected, and you can see, I'm not sure you'll be able to see, maybe too tiny, but let me just read it here. It says, When they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord. The Samus is speaking here. He says, I was glad. Something made me happy. When they told me, let's go to the house of the Lord.

There are many places that we can go to, but there is something you only find in the house of the Lord. Are we together? There are things you can find in a library. There are things you can find in a museum. There are things you can find in the hospital. There are things you can find in a market. I will not come to church trying to buy tomato and pepper. Will that be correct? No. They don't sell tomato and pepper. In fact, Jesus did something about those who were selling and buying in the house of God. Am I right on that? Yes. If I want to buy tomato, pepper, and all the ingredients for food, there is a designated place. It's called a market, whether an open market, or a store, or a mall. Are we together? I will not go to a supermarket and ask them to drink malaria or typhot. Is it a wrong place? Are we together now? That is not the assignment of the market. I will go to the hospital. So it's important for us to know when we come to the house of the Lord. What was it designed to achieve?

If it is true that every destination and every platform has a purpose and an assignment and we have agreed that you do not go to look for food in a hospital, you do not go to look for treatment in a restaurant. It means that every time you are going to any location, there is an awareness of what that location was designed to give you. Are we together? So the service here says, I was glad when they said unto me, there was an awareness that gladdened his heart. There was something he was aware of that only can only be found and only be gotten in the house of God. And as a final judge, if you keep this at the back of your mind, then this place will truly remain a house of God and it will remain a habitation of God's presence. But if you forget the purpose for which this was built, it can become a place where men will buy and sell. Jesus entered the temple and He saw the temple. They had changed its use.

So we're using it for something that it was not originally designed for. Warning, the following Zippercruder radio spot you are about to hear is going to be filled with F words.

Finally, that zippercruder.com slash zip. He frowned at it and even went to a point of making a whip and began to throw the people away. Hallelujah! So let me give you by the spirit. The four assignments of the House of God, including this building that you see. Hallelujah! Anywhere, number one, anywhere, before you start writing just for you to have this, it is not a building that makes a place a House of God. The first requirement for any place to be called the House of God is that God must be honored at least. And when I talk of God, let me say Jesus Christ because today where you mention God, it means many things. For someone, it means an idol. For someone, it means himself. Are we together? There is no place no matter how beautifully decorated that is qualified to be called the House of God

until that man is respected. If I come to your office, I don't expect you to give me the respect in NIS here that will be greater than that which will give you leaders. It is not my house. It's an office. If I come to make my passport, I have to sit down where you ask me to sit. No matter how big a man I think I am, am I right on that? Because it is not my house. But you will know when I am in my house because I become the epistect of the honor in my own house. I don't live like a stranger in my house. I would usually not knock a door if it is my house. I will open it because it is my house. So when you call a place the House of God and then God becomes pushed to the side and then man becomes exalted, then it is not the House of God. If it is the House of God, God must become the epicenter of that place. It's someone learning now. So let's work very quickly. Number one. The first assignment of this place as the House of God

is to become a House of Prayer for all nations. Mark 11, please. 15 to 17. If this place must remain a House of God, if it must fulfill its assignment, then it must be the House of Prayer. And they come to Jerusalem and Jesus went into the temple and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple and overthrew the tables of the money changers and the streets of them that sold doors were reading to 1716 now and would not suffer or permit that anyone should carry any vessel through the temple. And then he said this. Chapel of Massive was 17 now. He taught saying, is it not written, my house, say my house, say God's house, shall be called of all nations, the House of Prayer. Is there more you have made it?

That means it is within your power to turn the House of God to do something else. If this place must fulfill its prophetic destiny as the House of God, here within the NIS, then it must perpetually become and remain a House of Prayer. A House of Prayer. A House of Prayer. That anybody who comes here, whether as a leader or as a member, must have this awareness that the reason behind this blessing is that God has found for himself a place dedicated where men and women will come to see his face, where men and women will come to pray. The first assignment of this great blessing is that this place must become and must remain eternally a House of Prayer. If it is not the House of Prayer,

it will become a den of robbers and you know what happens when robbers call. They steal, they kill, and they destroy. And in the case of Satan, it does not just steal things. He steals years. Time. He steals peace. He steals joy. A physical thing may not be able to steal years or joy or peace, but Satan can steal anything at all, including your life. The first assignment of this glorious gift that God has given you is that you must pay whatever price to make sure that this place becomes and it remains a House of Prayer. This must inform the kind of leaders that are selected here. This must inform the kinds of programs that are designed here. This must inform the kind of allowance, the kind of concentration that is hallowed within this place. A House of Prayer.

Jesus had a lot to say about prayer. He spoke a parable to the end that men ought always to pray and not to faint. Are we together? Festus aloneians 517. He says, pray without season. Means, pray all the time be consistent in your prayer. He said, what things do ever ye desire? When ye pray, believe that thou receivers them and thou shall have them. Prayer is a pivotal part of the believer's life. A pivotal part of the believer's life is part of the apostolic model that was left by the early church. In Acts 2 and verse 42, the Bible says they continue steadfastly in their apostles' doctrine and in fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayer. Acts 6 and verse 4. We will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the world.

You must obtain grace to pray that this place can be so consecrated that when someone is about to lose his job on fairly, they know where to run to, not the police station, that when someone is about to be victimized because it's a Christian working in integrity, finally you have found a place that when someone's family is about to be shredded into pieces, there is something happening that the plague and the yoke of witchcraft, anybody who comes within the NIS vicinity and says, listen, things have not been going well in my life. My life looks like I'm about to die. There's all kinds of family witchcraft you can tell them there is a place God built for himself. A place where God has dedicated to be a house of prayer.

I think it was one time when I visited this place, I taught you that prayerlessness is pride. The highest demonstration of pride is to be prayerless. It means you have declared that you do not need the assistance of heaven, it's a declaration of self-sufficiency. Prayerlessness is not just a proof of laxity spiritually, it is pride. The variables that are required for a man to excel in his life are so many and on a system you do not have control of many of those factors. For instance, you cannot control who likes or hates you. It takes God to assist men to like or hate you. Is that true? So when you refuse to pray, you are declaring that God I do not need you. I have invented a way of replacing your value in my life.

If this is to be the house of God and to fulfill its prophetic destiny, I repeat one last time. And sure, insist, create principles around this, whether you are here or not, whether you retire or leave or not, leave a testimony that whoever mans the helm of leadership in displace, they must enter a covenant with Jehovah that on no account will this place lose its ministry as a place of prayer. Number two. The second assignment of this place that God has so given you is that if it is to be the house of God and to fulfill its prophetic destiny displace, it must become and remain a place of revelation on the standing and transformation.

Please write it down. It must become a place of revelation on the standing and transformation. If the chapel of message does not fulfill this assignment, it has failed. It is prophetic destiny. It must become and remain a place of revelation, a place of understanding, a place of transformation. Psalm 73 and verse 17. There are places that when you enter, you have understanding because the spirit of grace is there. It says until I went into the sanctuary of God, then understood I. But I think you cannot understand until you come into the house of God. There are mysteries you cannot understand until you come into the house of God. Don't say I went to school. No. The kind of orientation you receive in the house of God is more than physics and chemistry,

is more than intelligence and diplomacy as important as those things are. There is a superior understanding that is only found when scriptures are open. Are we together? First Timothy chapter 3, I believe from verse 14 and 15. The Bible calls the house of God, the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. And it also calls in the ground and the pillar of truth. Please give it to us. First Timothy chapter 3, I believe. First Timothy 3, let's write 14 and 15. Did I get that right? Go to verse 14. Okay. Beautiful. These things I write onto you hoping to come to this shortly. Verse 15, I wish we could really together. It says, but if I carry long, that thou may as no, how thou ought as to behave thy self in the house of God, which is not enough, just they are 15. The house of God, which is the church of the living God.

What else? It is the pillar and the ground of truth. So permitted to hear lies any other place except the house of God. The house of God is not where people should come and be flattered, be told a lie, be misled, be deceived, simply because you want human gains. This is where people must hear the truth in love. The truth about the need to live a holy and righteous life. The truth about the need to love Jesus and exult him above all. The truth about the need to love him beyond money, beyond titles, beyond whatever. The truth must be found here. That means you must not politicize what happens within this place. With all due respect, these are some of the things that dampen the truth. I rather remain poor and stand true than to have abundance at the expense of truth. Hallelujah. It then means if this place must become a ground and the pillar of truth with all due respect, you must hallow your altar and know the kind of voices that stand here.

Popular does not mean spiritual, no, articulates does not mean spiritual. We need to manage our altars and sit with that the sanctity of the altar is preserved at all costs. I love and respect politicians, but many of them tell lies. You have to be careful so they don't come and stand up and pollute your altar with all kinds of nonsense because of money that will come in. I say this with all due respect. It's important they understand that the house of God is not a cinema center, that the house of God is not some movie place now. If you want to lie, you can go outside. If you want to repent, you are welcome to the house of God. Say amen. Hallelujah. The pillar and the ground of truth. You must love the Lord and love His truth beyond any material blessing any man can offer. Satan came to Jesus and he said, Tony stones to bread, Jesus said no, no, no, no, no.

Fall from a holy place, the angels who keep you said no, no, no, no, no, no. Bow to me and I will give you all of this. The church should never be a place of compromise. Don't replace the altar because of his such and a positive form on day things. I am a preacher that believes in teaching the whole council of God, prosperity, healing, righteousness, everything, but their all truth do not hold equal value. There are truths in according to scripture that are emphasized more than others. I will not teach prosperity to match the same person as salvation, no, they do not hold the same value. I will together in order of priority, I will rather you meet a diamond watch that man meets is a message of the gospel and to be saved. How be the gospel of our prosperity, healing and the rest they are important, but they have value from an eternal standpoint is not the same. So if this place is to become a place of transformation and understanding, truth must be arranged

line upon line so that there is no exaggeration and there is no deemphasizing. The whole council of God must be presented. That is the wisdom that is used in cooking in a kitchen is that true. Women when you go to cook, you don't put the same quantity of rice as the same quantity of salt, but salt is needed. If you put one mood of rice and one mood of salt, you did not cook well. Or one mood of rice and one mood of pepper. You will kill everybody who wants to eat that food. This is how it is spiritually. I hope you know that the ministry of the world is likened to a chef serving food. Jeremiah 315 and I will give you pastors or sepas according to my heart. Give it to us please and they shall feed you. So preaching is feeding, teaching is feeding. The ministry of the world is feeding and how many of you know from biology that you are a product of what you eat. The quality of what you eat is who you become.

Are we learning now? So the house of God, if the chapel of messy is to actualize his prophetic destiny, with all due respect, all the leaders that are mandated weak in weak out to come and serve people the world of God, they must take the ministry of the world seriously, study his sense to show yourself a proof onto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the world of truth. You can wrongly divide the world, you can emotionally divide the world, you can sentimentally divide the world, you can politically divide the world, but there is a way to divide the world such that you communicate truth as intended by God. Let me charge the leaders therefore who serve God's people here with the world, less of 10 grace from God to stay and study, to know God not just to have someone, because what you bring in the fruit is an overflow of who you are with God.

Hallelujah. Are we getting blessed already? Number 3. Warning, the following Zipper Cruder radio spot you are about to hear is going to be filled with F words.

That's right. Free. What is the third assignment of the Chapel of Messi?

I like the fact that it is called the Chapel of Messi. If this place is to fulfill its prophetic destiny, it must be a remaining place where men can access help and strength from God. It must be and it must remain a place where men can access help and strength from God. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be a place where weak and wounded people must be able to access help and strength. Haven't challenged us to teach properly. The Church sometimes becomes so judgmental, becomes so so carry a holy and endowmentality and never give people, people who make mistakes, people who backslide, people who find themselves in the state of sin and they will be needing help. Make sure that on one side while you are protecting truth, on another side you are holding a hand in your hand to help wounded people.

If both of your hands are just holding the sword, you will kill people and if both of your hands are holding a bandage, you will need to compless and see. One hand must then protect in truth, but the other hand must be compassionate enough to help wounded people. The House of God must be and remain a place where people come to find help and strength. Some 20 from verse 1 to 3 and as I said this, if it applies to you I want to shout a big amen. No, I have not said it yet. The Lord yet in the day of trouble, the name of the God of Jacob defend you. Here is, San you help from where? Not from heaven, San you help from his sanctuary. The House of the Lord is a place where men should be able to find help. That someone comes and says, I am looking for help.

My life is shattered, I have stabbed the devil all the days of my life. I went somewhere and people condemned and threw me. Is there a place within the NIS where someone can help me and bring me to Jesus and help my bleeding wound and help my bleeding family? Hallelujah. We must be able to reduce our correcting love, but we must be able to show men mercy. Sometimes the body of Christ we have all kinds of swords and our swords are supposed to be used. It's called the sword of the Spirit was supposed to fight the devil with it, but sometimes we use it and kill the warriors in the making. You can use that sword of the Spirit to fight or you can use the sword of the Spirit to kill and you know that the sword of the Spirit is the word of God. You can literally use scripture to discourage someone that at the end the person came to church looking for God.

The person has admitted that I cannot help myself, but the way and the manner you communicated at the end the person says there is no hope for me, I am living knowing not not to be so. Every time Jesus who was the epitome of holiness and righteousness and truth, when he met the woman at the well he showed her love and based on his conversation can you imagine the same man who was preaching on a crusade ground. He did not consider it a waste of time to stay with one weak woman. I hope you know the entire John chapter 3 was a discussion between Jesus and one man. There are many people who will be coming here and let me tell you there are three groups of people who will come here, be sensitive to know them when they come. Number one, when you see the madman in God Arabian that is an evangelist on his way. Don't condemn him because there is a legion of devil sitting. Your assignment is to cast the demons out, rehabilitate him and that one madman in

God Arab will go and bring ten cities to Jesus. Number two, there is a woman who was once she had seven demons that Jesus delivered from. She lived a riotous life. But when she came the Bible says Jesus delivered seven demons out of her and she was part of those who later served in the ministry. Number three, there is a woman at the well. This woman had five husbands. The six was not even a husband and Jesus comes to her as the seven bringing an end to that kind of life. And single handedly she left everything she had and said come see a man who has shown me everything I have done. I hope when these three groups of people come here there will be room for them. You see you are not used as you are, you're commas you are, then you are changed. You don't come as you are to stay as you are. That is not the balance. Anybody who comes as he is and wants to stay as he is you can as well go out because your coming is proof that you are ready to change.

Are we learning a place of help and a place of mercy, send the help from his sanctuary, all kinds of help, emotional help, perhaps even financial help. That someone comes and says sincerely I'm not a careless person. My family, my entire children have not eaten, I'm going through a marital crisis and you don't have to wait for the leaders. Someone will remember a post to Joshua Selman's message and said while this place was been dedicated, I remember this message. I may not be able to do everything but here is 500 Nara. Can you please go and buy Gary for your children? Nobody has come from the sanctuary and that person will say everybody ran away from me but now you have come to accept me the way I am. Let me give you the last and final, it's God helping us already. So number one that the first assignment of this glorious place is that it must become and remain a house of prayer.

Number two, it must become a place of revelation, a place of understanding and a place of transformation. I wish I had time to talk a bit about transformation, it means nobody should come here and remain the way they are. No. One month, two months, six months, there should be a new version of you. And then number three should be a place of help and strength. There are weak and wounded people, I tell you. Our world is full of people who just smile and wear nice clothes but if you sit down to counsel them, it's their tears that will do the speaking. There are many people who are living with sicknesses right now. They come to church every day for being that one day God will visit them. There are people the moment they come to church, returning back home, their husbands are waiting for them. It's going to be war but they have found that they would keep fighting while they love Jesus. The church should be a place where we should experience the ministry of the great physician.

Remember the story of the good Samaritan, a man of God came and saw him and passed and said, I'm running to church and the man remained there. Another religious person came and ran but it's Samaritan, saw this man and said, my God, no. And he barmed him, took him to an inn and said, please care for this man. When I return, if there is anything, please leave it at our pay for the bill. When Jesus used that story to teach us a lesson, the Samaritan learning, number 4. As I just said this number 3, I just believed in my heart, I just sensed in my heart that I'm just describing someone in this place and it's like you are saying, I'm possibly saying, I see you are just talking about me. It is only God that knows the kind of pain I'm having in my heart from the pain of the trail, pain of disappointment, pain of, you know, people say you have been serving God for years, where is your result?

Do you know that it is painful to wait for the promises of God to be made manifest? Because at that time, you can't tell people you don't love God but the evidence may not yet be there. As Anna, Anna was a woman who went to Shilu every time and Penina mocked and said, whenever it's time for offering your coming, time for service coming, where is your child? I'm sure that Anna would go back and say, God, why are you doing this to me? The most difficult journey in the believer's life is the journey between prophecy and its manifestation. O come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuaries, O come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuaries.

So when you come to Shosh sometimes, what press and what should be happening are you are dancing. Don't think everyone who is just quiet is not participating, there are people who barely just got there. Just then thank God I finally arrived, I hope that when the preacher comes, I will hear something that will help me. Have you seen people who come to Shosh and even before service starts, they sit quietly and they are just crying and sometimes you think they are crying because of the beauty of the place, until you know the problems that are in their life. While they are in that Shosh, the landlords test Shosh will inform you and wait for you. They told me you are in Shosh, I will wait, finish and come and meet me. I hope you come to me with your God and my rent. O come lay down the burdens you have carried, for in the sanctuaries, O come.

Can I give you the final one, there are many more but let me give you four. The fourth assignment of this beautiful place that God has so built for Himself is that it must become a place and remain a place where we experience the power and the glory of God. If the chapel of messy as the house of God is to fulfill its assignment here within the NIS, it must become and remain a place where people experience the power and the glory of God. Say power, say glory, one more time say power, say glory, Psalm 63, 1 and 2, Psalm 63, 1 and 2, Psalm 63, 1 and 2.

And I will ever praise You. Oh God, You are my God. And I will ever praise You. I will seek you with the morning, I will learn to work in your ways, for step by step you lead me, and I will follow you all on my list. Oh God it says, you are my God, some 63 one, only will I seek you. My soul tests for you, my flesh longs for you, in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. Why? Verse 2. Let's read together. So I have looked for you in the sanctuary. Why did I look for you in the sanctuary?

To see your power, and to see your glory. When I want to see the power of God, and I want to see the glory of God, I run to his sanctuary. What kind of power, the power to heal, the power to end age long courses? Your employment letter cannot eradicate a course from your life. It can only give you a job, but if that course is still there you will collect your salary and still be going down, but not when you come to the sanctuary. The sanctuary gives beyond an employment letter. That means there are people when God wants to deliver. He can give them an employment to come and become, become employees of the NIS, but it's not about NIS. It's so that they can finally arrive here, because what is teaching on their destiny will require power, more than employment. You believe this? I have sought for you in the sanctuary, because it is your house. Let me find you, not just prayer as important as that is, not just the teaching, not just compassion, but it must become a place of power, a place of power, power against unclean spirit.

Powers that speak on the destinies of people and found that nobody will rise. Powers that are determined to destroy marriages, to turn children who have born in Godly families to become unprogress and prostitutes and useless people. One encounter near chapel of Messi should bring an end to the captivity of people. Hallelujah. Do you believe that? That means the entire activities within a service, from the opening prayer to the prayer and worship, if the worship team understands this, that means they don't trust me as sons, but their sons come from the secret place. That every time you stand to sing, you are trusting God to move through your songs and break chains and break activities. That just five minutes of singing is home. You stop singing special numbers and you bring songs that means that to the streets of people.

From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same, your name is blue, you are blue, you are blue, from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same. You imagine that someone who has been trusting God for ten years for the fruit of the world and then she just gets an employment to come here and immediately she arrives the chapel of Messi. It doesn't matter what program is holding, just because the hover is here, fires from heaven, rests upon the woman's life and she will tell you the next service you will come with a husband.

Very soon you have to stop screening people because there will be such a cloud of people outside. Yes, I don't care that is a chapel for the NIS, only noise that God is here, healing is here, the livrancy is here. Hallelujah. Can I tell you this? Have you noticed that when you are putting your programs together, there are people who are not part of the NIS but they don't care? The moment people know God is in a place, they will never be means for them to join a queue, join a queue and wait. You don't know how far people can end up through fire, there is a guarantee they will encounter God. If they have a list, what will make a matured person who will quarrel you for not calling him sir? And yet because he is going to say have a list to get power, they will stand on back and he will turn back, move backward and move backward, that is what people can do when they are sure they will find power.

I am praying for this place in the name of Jesus Christ, may this place not only be a house of mercy for the house of power, a house of deliverance. The Bible says upon Mount Zion is in your Bible there shall be deliverance and holiness. Deliverance is not just being separated from spirits alone, deliverance is also being separated from conditions. Condition, failure is a condition, powered by spirits, what is a condition, poverty is a condition, weakness is a condition. So when we talk about Deliverance, we are not just talking of driving the spirit in presence alone, by the power of the world that is able to define as Honda. Honda appears to cut in the sword, the thoughts and the intentions of the heart, you can literally separate a man from his condition that after service the trouble that was connected to him remains while the man walks free.

Hallelujah. Chapel of mercy, if this place must remain the house of God, this must be your covenant and it is not for the leaders, it is for everyone who names the name of Christ, it is for every believer here. Whatever it would take to make this place become a remain house of prayer is everybody's business. Whatever it would take to make this house become a remain place of revelation, where the truth of God's word is communicated is everybody's business. Whatever must make this place become a remain, a place where people find help and find strength, it is everybody's business. And whatever will make this place become a place of power, that means God will be raising someone to be interceding for those who teach here, Lord they will not fail. Let's try and come, nothing will happen around your homes that will affect them, that becomes your business. This is how to stay in the house of God, it is not just come to sit down and watch the man of God know, for some of you who God has blessed financially, God may put it in your heart and make sure it is consistent.

Your seats are coming both to the ministry and to the leaders, to encourage them to make sure that they have the stamina to resist any kind of temptation, that because when they fall to these temptations, it will affect the purity of their delivery and eventually it will affect the assignment and the prophetic destiny of this place. Well, when to pray, are you ready to pray? Hallelujah. We'll just take a few minutes to pray. The first prayer will be a prayer of thanksgiving.

Lord, now we understand what you have done, is beyond the beauty. You have erected an all-time NIS, where your presence will perpetually dwell, when they were dedicating the temple of Solomon, Solomon said, Now a rise of God is less come to your resting place, you and the act of your might. I want to pray and say, Father, thank you for giving this gift to the NIS. Go ahead, thank you. Someone is telling Jesus, thank you. Someone is telling the Lord, thank you. Maybe it's your child that will be saved in this very chapel. Maybe it's your spouse that will be saved in this chapel. Maybe the leaders of the NIS, not even Joseph Christian community, may be the ones who will be saved here. Go ahead and pack the king of kings. In the name of Jesus, prayer point number two, Father, every role I have to play, to make displays remain your prophetic habitation.

I obtain grace, go ahead and pray, every role I have to pray. You're not just coming here as a receiver, as a member, as much of the fellowship, there is a kingdom responsibility upon you. Someone is praying, every role I have to pray, every role I have to play, every role I have to play, I obtain grace to play. Hallelujah. Find out prayer before I speak over your life. What I want to pray now, and list these four things that I spoke about, that Father, the grace for prayer let it remain upon this house. The grace that makes for quality revelation of the world let it remain here. The grace that can help men to show men help, and that they find strength.

Let it be found here, and finally the power of the Holy Spirit, may it remain here. Is it not the service, I mean the Paul who said the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, he said the love of God under fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Are you ready to pray? Go ahead, please lift your voice in one minute. Father, let this place become and remain the house of prayer. The house of prayer and jelly activities bring in answers to prayer. Let this place remain in place of revelation or the standing transformation by the Spirit of God. Let this place remain in place where people can't find help, can't find mercy, can't find strength when they are with it.

And finally your God, let the power of the Holy Spirit be rested in this place. Power to heal, power to change, power to deliver, power to create, breakthroughs to rewrite the stories of the destinies of men.

Let me share with you one secret that God showed me in my life. One of the secrets to give anything longevity in your life is to hand it over to God. You want to find out the secret behind the longevity of anything. Hand it over to God. Yes. It says what I know, my belief. And I am a person with it that is able to keep that, not that which you have, that which is committed to him.

He only keeps what is committed to him. Come and not again. Come and not again. Come and not again. Come and not again. Yes. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm a man.

I'm a man. I'm a man. Father, I join my faith with the fathers of faith who have stood upon this altar to declare over your people and to declare over this beautiful structure. And in the name of Jesus, even by the privilege of the election of grace, I decree and I declare over the chapel of mercy over the community of believers within the NIS in the name of Jesus remain a people of prayer. In the name of Jesus, remain a people of revelation. In the name of Jesus, remain a people of strength, remain a people who God has helped and finally remain a people of power.

Now I pray for the chapel of mercy in the name of Jesus. I let my voice alongside that of the fathers who have spoken over this place. We call this place an altar of God's presence. We call this place an altar of prayer. We call this place an altar of revelation. We call this place an altar of mercy and help and strength. We call this place an altar of power. Say that we decree and declare that you take your hands off this place. This building will not collapse. Nobody would die in this place. In the name of Jesus, every prayer that is offered in this place, may my God answer speedily. Everyone who cries before the Lord in this place, let speedy answers come. Let activities be lifted from this place.

Let buildings and reproaches be rolled away in the name of Jesus Christ. Let the barring come here and find children. Let the poor come here and be lifted by God. In the name of Jesus. Yummy, no one who has attended this place today will experience on time later. No leader in this place will die before their time. And I pray, it will never be that anybody would stand as a leader here who does not fear God. It will never be that anyone would stand as a leader here who does not have God. Nobody with a familiar spirit or strange power will stand upon your altar here. In the name of Jesus Christ. Everything you agree upon, ask for children's in luck and want.

In the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, give Jesus a big hand. Let the leaders of NICF, both here in Erykontas and other formations come to the front and departmental leaders. Pray, leader, your department also come as our father pray for us. Hallelujah. Go ahead, just pray in one minute, everyone. We pray in one to speak over the great leaders. Hallelujah. If someone pray, father help them, strengthen them and power them by your spirit.

It takes a lot to serve in any capacity of leadership, more so spiritual leadership. Hallelujah. In Jesus' name. Listen. One of the ways that certain discourages people is to inflict pain and loss and shame on the leaders so that those who follow them become discouraged. Are we together? The Bible says, strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. Yes. Chances are excellent that when you see your leaders failing things going down, you say, no, I can't come out with my time here. Leaders inspire to the results that are produced from their own lives. Am I right on that? Stretch your hands, everybody, one minute to those in front. The same way you would pray for yourself, please pray for them. The same way you would pray for your spouse, your child, your father, your mother, your uncle, the man of God, your Lord and honor. Please pray for them. Say, Lord, keep them. As they travel, keep them.

As they exercise their duties across the various stations where they are represented, keep them. The keeping grace, the staying power, the grace to pray, the grace to fast, the grace to love Jesus. Character, the grace for unity, that God will set them free from offense, God will set them free from bitterness, God will set them free from anger. These are the things that destroy my teammates. Sometimes it may not be the weightier sins, but anger of friends, unforgiveness. These are the things that become a constant leaders. In the name of Jesus, by the privilege of God's message, I speak over you, the grace that causes leaders to... You don't have to kneel, please stand. The grace that causes leaders to excel, I release it upon you. And in the various capacities wherein you are represented, I pray that you will not just be someone sitting in an office without grace.

The grace to deliver and discharge to expectation, I release it upon you. While you are serving your family members will not go down. While you are serving your spiritual life will not go down. While you are serving your health will not go down. I cost every power that wants you to be a victim of your message. I cost every power that wants you to be a victim of the office wherein you represent in the name of Jesus' grace to excel. And you will not die in the air. You will not die on the road. You will not die by sea. You will not be a victim of kidnappers. In the name of Jesus, the eye of wicked men will not see you. The desires of the wicked will not come to you. May the Lord distinguish you. Therefore in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, I call you blessed. You are blessed in the city. You are blessed in the country. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. God bless you. Now let me speak over everyone finally.

Or by the way, if you are in this place right now, I'm wrapping up already. And you have never truly made Jesus' Lord of your life. Never truly made Jesus' Lord of your life. Perhaps you came here for the first time. You were invited. You just came to grace the occasion of having fathers come around. Or you are here and you are sent a puzzle. I remember making this altar called this prayer on as it is. I cannot sincerely say that things are right with my walk with the Lord. I don't want you to be ashamed. I'm looking for just one sincere person who is saying I do not want to waste this day. Wherever you are, I want you to walk around. You ashamed of anybody where a family of faith, boldly leave your seats. If you convince me that truly there is nobody, then I will continue. But it's impossible to have a gathering of people like this. And there is not one person who wants to make it right. Let's celebrate them as they come. I will count one to five very quickly. Leave your seats and come and stand here. One.

Don't wait for someone to come. Make up your mind that you are coming to Jesus. Two. No one will force you to speak between you and the Lord Jesus Christ. Or remember the Bible says in the day that you hear His voice, do not harden your heart. Three. I count five and I begin to pray for you. Four. And the fifth count, five. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, for making this noble decision. Let me request that you just raise your right hand. Thank you for this bold decision. Say after me, Lord Jesus, I love you with all my heart. And I believe that you are the Son of God. Right now, I accept Jesus into my heart as my Savior, as my Lord, and as my King. I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell and the grave is broken over my life.

I am a child of God. I live for Jesus all the days of my life. Amen. Keep your hands lifted. Father, thank you for this blessed people. Thank you for your hand upon their lives. And I pray in Jesus' name that this decision remains true and permanent in your life. You go from glory to glory and grace to grace in the name of Jesus. Amen and amen. Now, perhaps, okay, there's a woman who is waving her hands for you. May I request that you just turn to my back and she will just have a word with you and let you be back. Hallelujah. One more time, NIS, the Christian community and chapel of messy, a big congratulations to you for this remarkable project. The Lord, thank you. Bless you and thank you for this opportunity.
